WHAT Every year, Okizu holds a fundraiser entitled, “Art Inspiring Hope: A Child’s Struggle with Cancer.”
AIH began on a very small scale twenty-four years ago in 1995 and has grown into an extravagant
gala drawing about 500 guests. This event grosses more than $750,000 in an evening, which
helps make it possible for more than 700 children to attend the Okizu programs each year. Okizu
offers programming for children with cancer and their families at no charge.
The annual black-tie evening with a different, elaborate theme each year, features gourmet
food, specialty drinks, silent and live auctions, and headline entertainment. Past performers
have included Huey Lewis & The News, Sheryl Crow, The Robert Cray Band, The Doobie
Brothers, The Dave Mason Band, and Smash Mouth.

EVENT OVERVIEW
ABOUT OKIZU
OUR MISSION STATEMENTThe mission of Okizu is to help all members of families
affected by childhood cancer to heal through peer
support, respite, mentoring, and recreational programs.
Okizu camping programs are the result of a
collaborative effort by Okizu and the pediatric
oncology treatment programs of Northern California.
THE OKIZU SPIRIT Okizu offers the unique opportunity for
children with cancer and their siblings to learn
independence, develop self-esteem, and gain
skills they never thought possible. At camp, kids
are just kids, and they can feel comfortable being
themselves in a safe, trusted environment. It is a
place for fun, the building of lasting friendships, and
the development of self-confidence.
ONCOLOGY CAMPChildren who are diagnosed with cancer often miss
out on the joys
of a normal
childhood. Their
illnesses, the
time consumed
by treatments,
their physical
limitations,
and concerns about how they are perceived by
their peers, keep them from enjoying activities that
other kids take for granted. Yet these children, like
all children, need the opportunity to grow, explore,
discover who they are, and just have fun. Camp Okizu
nurtures their development in a setting where there is
no need for them to feel self-conscious.
SIBLINGS CAMPRecognizing that childhood
cancer affects the entire
family, Okizu also provides
a camp for the siblings
of children with cancer.
Okizu’s SIBS (Special
and Important Brothers
and Sisters) Camp meets
the often-neglected
needs of healthy children
when all energies are
understandably focused on
the sick child’s treatment.
One of only a few such camps in the United States,
SIBS Camp allows these kids to feel valued, and gives
them the opportunity to learn they are not the only
ones coping with the conflicting and difficult emotions
that accompany having a sibling with cancer. While at
camp, the children are in a trusted environment where
they can share their feelings and gain support from
other campers and the staff.
FAMILY CAMPOkizu’s Family Camp is designed to give the whole
family a few days of worry-free fun, play, and
relaxation. It is an opportunity to “get away” with
others who share common experiences. Many families
consider these weekends to be the highlight of their
year, when new and lasting friendships are made.
OKIZU (oak-eye-zoo) comes from the Sioux language and means unity, to come together, to heal from a hurt, to make whole.
The themed evening begins with a reception featuring
gourmet hors d’oeuvres, specialty beverages, an
extensive array of silent auction items varied enough
to suit every taste, and a raffle that’s a ton of fun.
Guests are then escorted
to the dining pavilion for a
seated dining experience,
presentations, and a rousing
live auction.
Energized by the fast paced auction, and
fortified by fine food and drink, guests are
ready to express themselves on the dance
floor, to the tunes of top-notch entertainers.

“I seriously have never seen
Tommy as carefree, excited and
happy in his entire life as after
Camp Okizu. He seemed like a
different kid, so light and sociable
and just pumped on life!”
— Parent of an 8-year-old camper
“Okizu is the light at the end
of the tunnel that these kids
have while on their cancer
journey.”
— Parent of a 9-year-old camper
“Camp Okizu is a place of
love and happiness. By the
end of the week, or even the
weekend, it is like we are a big
happy family separating after
a family reunion.”
— 11-year-old SIBS camper
